Penny Arcade's Collectable Card Game

Posted by Zonk on from the woohoo-they-sold-out! dept.

Klytus writes "GamingReport.com has news on Penny Arcade's new Collectable Card Game. The CCG is being produced by a division of UK based Games Workshop, Sabertooth Games, makers of the Lord of the Rings Miniatures game. From the article: 'Designed and illustrated by Penny Arcade's Gabe and Tycho, this set of cards was inspired by the hijinks of their legendary web comic. Everything from the Divx to Tycho's Really Big Word is included in this set of cards, allowing players to reenact the epic battle of Gabe and Tycho.'"

    Is this going to be a launch title for the Xbox 360 or will it wait for the PS3?

    What's that you say, not a video game. Surely things of such nature died out years ago.

    Honestly though it is kind of strange (in a refreshing way) to see a game article that has nothing to do with consoles, PCs, launch dates, etc. I'd like to see more aticles that focus on gaming outside the norm like this one. I read Penny Arcade fairly often, but somehow have never heard anything about this game.

    Nice to see something that isn't an attack on MS/Sony, FUD about Nintendo flopping, or hype about some game months away from release.

    Legend of the 5 Wangs. PA: The Wanging Yu Gi Wang Poke'... Ok, I just can't bring myself to make that last joke.

      Had TFA bothered to link to the real press release, as Gabe did on PA's site, you'd've seen that there is new art of the Merch in Fleshreaper form. Very frightening. Too bad we got a link to a cut-and-paste of a press release, instead of anything interesting.

      Here's the actual press release, if you'd like to see the art.

    So I guess this game will be rated "W" for Wang?

    Not terribly exciting, but the official press release is here:

    Exact same text, but there's two illustrations from the cards.
